Synopsis

Set in the unforgiving streets of Houston’s Fifth Ward in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Mind Playing Tricks: The Geto Boys Story is a visceral, multi-part miniseries chronicling the rise of one of hip-hop’s most controversial and influential groups: the Geto Boys. With a blend of raw lyricism and a rebellious spirit, this is the story of how three artists—Scarface, Willie D, and Bushwick Bill—pushed boundaries and shattered stereotypes to become icons, paving the way for Southern rap and rewriting the rules of hip-hop. Each episode dives into the lives of the three core members, revealing their unique and troubled pasts, the allure and trials of fame, and the toll of their unfiltered exploration of mental health, inner demons, and life on the streets. At its heart, this series explores their breakthrough album We Can’t Be Stopped, the explosive reaction to their hit “Mind Playing Tricks on Me,” and their battles with censorship, both from music critics and law enforcement. Alongside powerful live performances and an authentic portrayal of Houston’s street culture, Mind Playing Tricks is a story of survival, resilience, and brotherhood against all odds. It is a story that confronts the struggles of African American men in America, shines a light on mental health within the Black community, and digs into the cost of artistry in an unforgiving world.
